With Obama in office and the executive orders on Gitmo and terrorist interrogations out, we are hearing a more about Geneva Convention Common Article 3. So I thought I’d take a look for myself. I must say, it’s a rather unrewarding read.
Article 3 - defines acts that are cannot be done to noncombatants in “armed [...]
The National Bureau of Economic Research, which is not a government agency but does have a relationship with the federal government, has analyzed three possible governmental responses to a recession:
deficit spending
deficit financed tax cuts
increased spending financed with increased taxes
The results?
We find that deficit-financed tax cuts work best among these three scenarios to improve GDP
Translation: Obama’s [...]
Obama’s nominee for Attorney General, Eric Holder, was involved in the midnight raid that sent Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. Afterwards Holder said Gonzalez “was not taken at the point of a gun” and that the federal agents behaved “very sensitively”.
Oh, really? Remember this photo?
By the way, isn’t sending someone back to another country also [...]
In the 12 trading days since Obama was elected the Dow has lost over 21%, the NASDAQ has lost 26% and the S&P 500 has lost 25%. This is what happens when you elect someone who in a very bad economy pledges to:
raise business taxes
raise capital gains taxes
raise taxes on the wealthy
raise protectionist barriers
implement card [...]
Ayman al-Zawahri, Al-Qaeda’s second in command, just released a video in which he refers to Obama as a “house negro”. If there is any possible way to make Obama popular with conservatives, al-Zawahri might just have found it. That’s alright Ayman, why don’t you step out of that cave for a sec? We’ve got something for [...]
We owe it to ourselves and our country not to do to Pres. Obama what the left did to Pres. Bush. We will certainly fight him on the issues but let’s resolve to keep it civil. Despite their own behavior, the left believes conservatives are angry, uneducated neanderthals. If we keep it classy some of [...]
It boggles my mind that Obama has been able to pass himself off as a moderate candidate. In the last week or two he has been promising to “remake America”. These are not inconsequential words, folks. They are words not of the progressive left (which is bad enough) but of the marxist, revolutionary left.
Let’s review [...]
This is the tale of two, identical incidents, both involving hanging someone if effigy. In once case a white, conservative female was hung in effigy. In the other a black, lefty man was hung in effigy. In one case, the hanging was dismissed as a Halloween display. In the other case, charges were filed. I’ll [...]
Remember how Obama was promising tax cuts for 95% of us? Well, don’t look now but the story is changing. Initially he said anyone making under $200,000 would see a tax cut. The Joe Biden quietly lowered the figure to $150,000. Well now Obama surrogate Bill Richardson has brought the figure down to $120,000.
The only [...]
Many people have an instinctive reaction about Obama that makes them think there is something worrisome about his worldview. Understandably, in the age of terrorism, they look to his thin resume on national security issues and his habit of cavorting with anti-American leftists, and focus on that as the source of their anxiety. While that [...]
As if we needed further proof that Obama’s foreign policy instincts are wrong, we have this. An Iranian general admitted Iran is arming militant groups around the middle east. That would be the same Iran that Obama dismissed as a little nation rather than a serious threat.
It pains me to say this but I think the election is over. Obama won. Arguably it could be better stated that McCain lost it. Either way it adds up to the same thing - big trouble.
When the economy goes south, justifiably or not, the electorate looks to the Democrats. Once Wall street imploded, McCain [...]
Dave Hardy has a chilling piece detailing the Joyce Foundation’s attempts to scrap the Second Amendment while Obama was on the board. Hat tip to Sebastian.
I saw this mentioned on FoxNews.com earlier. It’s just frightful indoctrination by the left.
To which we can only respond, if the jackboot fits….
Sebastian and Bitter obtained a copy of a letter sent by the Obama campaign trying to get radio stations to pull an NRA ad on the grounds that they contain false statements. First of all the statements are correct.
Second, the letter contains a not too subtle threat:
Failure to prevent the airing of “false and misleading advertising” [...]
In declining to join Sen. McCain’s in temporarily suspending his campaign to work in the Senate toward a fix for the financial mess, Sen. Obama said something like this:
If you need me, just call.
(I’m paraphrasing since I heard it on the radio and the media is ignoring it).
Seriously? The nation is facing a huge financial mess [...]
From our friends at NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action: GunBanObama.com.
There is a pretty remarkable story on National Review Online about the Obama campaign’s efforts to silence an investigation into his association with admitted terrorist William Ayers. Needless to say the establishment media is going to ignore it. It’s also completely consistent with the left’s thuggish hypocrisy.
Updated: Here's a related tale of the intimidation.
I…er…uh…well okay, I see his point. If this was for Sen. McCain's speech, do you think the media would mention this a few dozen times an hour?
If Sen. Obama was trying to appeal to blue collar voters in chosing Joe Biden as his running mate I believe he struck out. While Sen. Biden sounds like a blue collar guy, on policy he’s anything but. Apparently National Journal rated him the 3rd most liberal Senator (Sen. Obama was number 1). Third most [...]
